Ovex Single Pack - 1 Tablet (100mg) - The Chemist Online
Product Overview
Ovex Single Pack contains 1 tablet (100mg) for the treatment of threadworms. Threadworms are small, white, thread-like worms that live in the intestines and are visible in stool. They commonly cause itching and irritation around the anus, particularly at night.
How It Works
Ovex works by preventing the threadworms from absorbing the sugars they need to survive. A single dose is effective in killing the threadworms, but it does not destroy their eggs, which can lead to re-infection. To prevent the spread of infection, it is recommended that all household members (excluding pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under two years of age) are treated simultaneously.
